Matthew Short's team would have liked to enter the playoffs with a win, but the side went down by 11 runs in their last league game against the Los Angeles Knight Riders. They have performed well this season, with seven wins in 10 games, thanks to the contributions of key batsmen and bowlers. Their opponents have struggled, and Short would like to capitalize on this and advance to the next round.
Matthew Short and Finn Allen didn't score in the last game, and the team needs them to deliver a positive start. Jake Fraser-McGurk must anchor the innings at No. 3 and add runs with Sanjay Krishnamurthi and Hassan Khan. Hammad Azam and Xavier Bartlett performed well in the finishers' role in the last game, and the team expects them to deliver a similar performance.
Xavier Bartlett and Ben Lister leaked runs with the new ball in the last game. The team expects early breakthroughs from this pair in this contest. Hassan Khan and Brody Couch must bowl in the right areas during the middle overs to trouble the batters. The side will expect a good show from Matthew Short and Karima Gore in this game, as MI New York has good hitters.

Nicholas Pooran's team has made it to the playoffs due to a better run rate over the Seattle Orcas. The team has struggled with consistency this season and lost their last league game against the Washington Freedom by 6 wickets. The top order has struggled, and the team must play out of its skins to win this game.
Monank Patel and Quinton de Kock must deliver a confident start for the team to have a strong chance in this game. Pooran is the key batter in this lineup and must lead from the front, building partnerships with Tajinder Dhillon and Michael Bracewell. Kieron Pollard is a good hitter, and he must create the fireworks in the final overs with George Linde.
Trent Boult must use his experience and do well with the new ball alongside George Linde to put the Unicorns under pressure. Nosthush Kenjige has been the pick of the bowlers, and he will look to do well in the middle overs with Fabian Allen. Pollard, Bracewell, and Ehsan Adil add depth to the attack and must do well.

We expect cloudy skies over Dallas. The wicket is flat, allowing batsmen to play their strokes easily. The wicket offers little for the bowlers, and they must use their variations to succeed. The average first-innings score is over 180 runs, and the team batting first will aim to have 200 on the board.

Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas, is a small ground with a fast outfield. It allows the batsmen to free their arms and score quick runs. There is some assistance for the fast bowlers early in the game, and the spinners have struggled as the short boundaries make life difficult for them.
Out of 12 games played at this venue this season, teams chasing has emerged victorious in 7 matches. The pitch tends to offer movement early on, making it challenging for batters at the start. However, conditions ease out as the game progresses. Given these dynamics, the team winning the toss is likely to opt for bowling first.
The MI New York hasn't shown the form and consistency this season that they have in the last two editions. The top and middle order must put up a strong show in this game for the side to create chances for itself. The San Francisco Unicorns have won the last three games against MI New York. They have a powerful batting lineup and shall start ahead in this contest.
